A Perfect Circle

Far less ambitious (not to mention less interesting) than Tool, alt-rock holdouts A Perfect Circle are nevertheless worthy of your attention, simply due to the fact that they include that band's riveting frontman, Maynard James Keenan, along with Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha. It's been 13 years since APC's last full-length, so expect a back-catalog-heavy set.
